Had a crash three weeks ago. Finally with a new hd installed, on line again.
But I lost about 13Gb of Fs9!!! :angry:
Next weeks searching (on AVSIM/Flightsim etc.) and installing....

Thats not so good :(

I have a ghost copy of my working FS9 setup and registry on an External HDD.

It works perfectly for widespread system failures :P

a timely reminder to all NZFF members to back up their hard disks- not just FS but documents and photos etc.

My wife had that happen to her once when we were at university... only replace 'System Crash' with 'idiot boyfriend reformating the harddrive after having backed up 99.9% of important docs'

my bad... <_<

How very frustring, well at least you got your system working again :)

There are many upsides to a fs reinstall, an opertunity to clean out all the junk etc.. fs wil always run better! unless of course you just did a reinstall then its a complete pain in the arse -_-

Well good luck getting everythign back to normal B)
